Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: When doing vocals on someones song, I first need to get my self not only familiar with the song, but extremely comfortable with it and in touch with the lyrics, so I can deliver the best performance. I'll do many takes of each part of the song until its perfect. Songwriting wise I always start with melodies and chords first. Then the lyrics come second.
